VIA Technologies today announced the VIA AMOS-820, a compact, fanless system designed around the tiny VIA VAB-820 Pico-ITX board.

The VIA AMOS-820 is featuring a 1.0GHz Freescale i.MX6Quad ARM Cortex-A9 SoC with three integrated GPUs and it is optimized for both performance and power to meet the demands of industrial and in-vehicle applications. Boasting a ruggedized, fanless system design (15cm x 4.6cm x 10.8cm) with a wide operating temperature range from -20°C up to 65°C, the VIA AMOS-820 delivers a typical power consumption of a mere 7W TDP and offers support for Embedded Linux, Windows Embedded Compact 7 (WEC 7), and Android operating systems. Featuring capture-in support and optional 3G connectivity, the VIA VAB-820 can be also used for surveillance and features PoE (Power over Ethernet) support for seamless integration.

On-board storage includes 4GB of eMMC Flash and can be expanded through one MicroSD card slot. I/O functions on the front and rear panels make the VIA AMOS-820 a flexible solution for a wide range of embedded applications. Front I/O includes two COM ports, one DIO port, two CAN ports, one USB 2.0 port and one Micro USB 2.0 OTG port as well as Line-in/out and Mic-in, while rear I/O includes one HDMI port, one composite RCA jack, one GigaLAN port, one MicroSD slot and two USB 2.0 ports. Optional 3G/WiFi is available which can be supported through on-board USB pin-headers or Mini PCIe slot.
